"Truly, it is the indescribable sweetness of contemplation which you give to those who love you. In this you have shown the tenderness of your charity, that when I had no being you made me; and when I strayed away from you, you brought me back again to serve you and commanded me to love you." The Imitation of Christ

Expedition North Of The River

One of the disadvantages of my dogsitting duties this weekend was that I didn't get around to blogging about my visit to Kingsland (home of Fr. Nicholas Schofield (Roman Miscellany) and the Dúnadan (Cally's Kitchen), both members of the Catholic Blogosphere.) The Dúnadan had suggested that we hold a Bloggers' Convention after Fr. Tim's talk there...

The talk was excellent (albeit a little long... Fr. Tim keeps adding bits!) To my horror, someone proposed a photo of the four bloggers together. I tried to escape by offering to take the photo, but was overruled, and an obliging parishioner stepped in to do the dastardly deed.

I think Fr. Tim got a photo too, but he has had the good sense to refrain from posting it. As the damage had been done already, I handed my phone over so that I'd have a picture too... and then realised that I didn't have to appear on my own blog, so promptly took a snap of the other three... (a vastly superior photo, I'm sure you'll agree!)

A very enjoyable meal followed. Technical matters were discussed - here you can see Fr Tim showing off his own PDA phone...

...and here is a photo of Fr. Nicholas...

Finally, as we left the restaurant, Fr. Nicholas told us that the houses we could see were actually the oldest examples of terraced houses in London... and I just had to try and get a photo of that...

About Me

I was about to describe myself as a young Catholic woman, but alas, that is no longer strictly true (two out of three isn't bad)!
I came back to the Church 22 years ago after what I consider to be a Damascus Road conversion, and
I'm fairly traditional in my outlook.
I am a single woman living and working in the world (as a Science teacher), and I took private vows in December 2002.
